DUI arrest on H1-B in Delaware

[justicseeker]

Hi All,

This is very useful thread, members clearly explained about the incidents they undergone.

My situation is similar to it but I was arrested in India under 498A a dowry related false case filed by my wife.

What should I say during interview?

I am on Bail now and I have court permission to leave the country.

Thanks & regards,
Justice Seeker

@duimess, thank you so much for a detailed information.
unfortunately i m in the similar case and my court date is this 16th. i hired a good attorney. i m praying god for a best possible outcome other than DUI. and will update you all with a complete information as 'duimess' has done.

as many mentioned here. "IF YOU DRINK, DON'T DRIVE. PERIOD! " ....not worth the pain, its an emotional journey from here on

Hi,
I just got charged for DUI. I just need an insight on whether i can get my charges dismissed?
I was driving last night with my frnds, wherein I realised that i was Low on gas. so i found a gas station besides the road and in a hurry to make it i took a turn to gas station from the pavement that has "no left entry" board. still my vehicle was slow and suddenly i saw light flashes on my rear glass. I knew i was Fcked up.

i still maintained the slow speed and parked vehicle on gas station. The Officer came in to me asking whether i was drunk and i admitted that i had two small pegs of Rum.

he called up another officer who then took me through 3 soberity tests, which according to me i did not made any mistake. then he asked me to take a blow test for which i agreed and i blew once....he was not convinced and asked me to blow again. i did that. after that they said that they are taking me under arrest for DUI and asked me if i am ready for a breathanalyser test. I said Yes and they took me to local Jail and had my test there. The reading came out to be 0.082.

I was released on bail after 4 hrs.

My questions are:
1. is there any hope that i can get my case dismissed on above incidences?
2. should i Hire a Local attorney and that will help me get rid of charges.
3. If i m not able to get rid of charges, how much minimal charge m I looking in for?

Forgot to mention, this is my first offence.
Also i m on L1 Visa so i am concerned if results of this hearing can affect my immigration process if i am visiting india in future months and coming back.

your suggestions would greatly help me.

Niks.
